Paramount Pictures is remaking the 1987 film The Monster Squad. Rob Cohen, who produced the original, hopes to direct the remake. Cohen will produce with Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, and they're meeting with writers. (Via Deadline)FUCK THIS SHIT. Do you know what Rob Cohen has directed? The Fast and the Furious, Stealth, and the third Mummy film. Yes, he was someone's second choice after Stephen Sommers. And we all know what evil Michael Bay can and has wrought on beloved nerd properties. I don't want to advocate murder, but... no, wait, I do. I do want to advocate murder. Bay and Cohen deserve to have a fat kid shove a stick of dynamite down their pants, and then kick them in the nards. (Via FilmDrunk)

Give me the amulet you bitch

That's from My Science Project, not Monster Squad.

not to mention the fact that "When your cool you wear sunglasses 24 hrs a day"

Badger's got nards?

Marry me.

Bay destroys indiscriminately. He's no more vicious or vindictive than a hurricane, or a drunk Godzilla. You can't be mad at Michael Bay. You can just pick up the pieces after he's gone, and try to move forward with your life. Lean on me, when you're not stroooOOOooong...

Originality in Hollywood... is dead... and they've been fucking it's corpse for some time now.

It's just a movie guys. Take your xanax or meditate or whatever, and just make sure to schedule something *other than* seeing this movie when this movie comes out.
-
Here's a mind-blowing question, who could screw this re-make up more: Michael Bay or Uwe Boll? Sometimes kids; Megan Fox, robot testicles/urination and a few extra 'splosions are better than straight up shite.
-
I'm going to murder the fuck out of anyone that supports this remake!
-
awesome mummy! -mummy explodes- awesome vamp! -dracula explodes-
-
One word about Rob Cohen: Dragonheart. It was the best movie of 1996.
-
Wait...Bay has nards?
-
Man, I lost my virginity while this movie was on. They can't remake it! NOT WHILE I'M AROUND
-
Wasn't this movie remade 6 years ago and called "Vanhelsing"?
-
Who can this possibly appeal to? We had real vampires when we were kids, not these sparkling bastards. Hell, when I was a kid, Wilson from House was a vampire and a gay Puck. AT THE SAME TIME. And something involving Indiana Jones but I could just be drunk again. This comes after having an argument with my girlfriend about Coppola's Dracula. She actually suggested vampires losing their powers in daylight made sense. I dug out my Preacher trades in protest.

I've never seen the movie and even I know this is total BS.
-
There's a third Mummy movie?
-
Hell, if Will Arnett plays him too then I don't care who the director is!
-
OH WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! Nobody gets the ruin MY childhood. I can't believe how upset I am about this. FUCK
-
heheh... The Missing Link from Monsters vs Aliens.
-
How about get the cast together for a sequel?
-
There's also a Creature from the Black Lagoon remake in the works.
-
This is the worst idea ever.
-
Oh godfuckingdamnit you reminded me of Stealth... UGGHH!
-
I read "No no no no NO NO NO NO NO" in Shia Lebouf's voice.
-
Maybe we have it all wrong. It might end up being a great movie like Battlefeld Earth or Gigli or M.A.C and Me. Then maybe we might all forget that our childhood is being raped right before our eyes.
-
I'm sure that's one of the main reasons they're going to remake this. So they can shill this shit out and you all can gobble it up, even though you detest the remake itself. Hollywood is in a very shitty state. I don't know much about the movie business, but do all rights and say-so default to the movie companies? Do the writers/directors for older movies not get to maybe lobby against a remake of their work? Maybe in a perfect world.
-
I don't see what the big deal is. So, it will end up being a piece of shit movie. You still have the original.
-
I figured given Holly wood wanting to remake every thing that sooner or later the monster squad would wind up remade. and sadly the monsters will be made to be so pc as not to rile some parent group dracula will not drink blood the monster frakenstine will be made a a sales man the gil man will be called gil person and the kids will be replaced by holly woods young stars like Zack Efron and the gossip girls guys. wonder how long before night of the creeps gets on the remake list.
-
If only that was true...
-
I've read this post a few times and even posted a comment earlier. Now I finally get it... This is the real "Other Story". Rob just didn't have Fan Fic Friday as part of the post...
-
Great, here goes Bay fucking up another thing from my childhood (sight)...
-
I'm so sorry Rob. That's all I can say. I'm just SO SORRY.
-
You've all got it wrong. . If it's a Platinum Dunes remake, several things will be changed. . Using young kids will be abandoned so that they can replace them with older, college-age characters that will be portrayed by hot model-turned-actors that get naked at the drop of a hat. They will also be portrayed as constantly sweating, wearing dirty clothes, and will have to be in a least two completely unnecessary sex scenes. . The classic Universal monsters will be redone as well. They will most likely resemble 80's slasher movie villains that happen to co-habitat in a large mansion or house. Dracula will be an eastern European gangster-type that saves and drinks the blood of his victims. Wolfman will probably dispatch busty young teens with deadly trained wolves. The Mummy will be a crazy old arabic guy that runs the convenience store that they use to find their victims. The Gillman will be a weird, backwoods Cajun that feeds his kills to the alligators. Lastly, Frankenstein will be represented by a psycho that kills and dismembers hot young things so that he can piece them together to build his perfect girlfriend, but will fall in love with the movie's heroine and betray the rest of the monsters to save her, until he dies protecting her while she escapes. . If it's a Platinum Dunes movie, that what the remake will be like.
-
how are they going to work in all the explosions?
-
Hate to see this, but at least,this time Gill-Man may look right.
-
Hee hee Hee. I can't wait a good twenty years from now when some hack starts remaking all of Michael Bay's junk and he has to watch his movies get all discombobulated by someone who thought they knew what movie goers really want. Aw hell, at the rate they're going It'll probably be five years from now before the remaking starts. Hey, maybe they'll remake his crap into decent films.
-
I just showed my 9 year old stepson this movie about 3 weeks ago. He loved it. If they remake this movie and he likes the remake better... I will be getting divorced. It's already bad enough that he's a red head.
-
That picture is BAD ASS!!!! Anyone know where I can find that in an 8x10? Because I will totally hang that in a frame and display it in my home. Monsters FTW!!!!!
-
I'll always say that even if its a bad remake maybe it will get more people exposed to the original. And seriously Friday the 13th was pretty good and that was a Baymake production. Maybe it will remind people that Dracula is a badass not a sparkly mormon.
-
As I started reading this post, I was thinking, "Well, this sucks, but it's not TOO terrib--" And then I saw Michael Bay's name, and all was lost.
-
LIES!!!! I keep telling myself that...
-
UNNECESSARY EXPLOSION!
-
Because Van Helsing and Bloodrayne and Daybreakers and The Wolf Man and the Underworld trilogy were all such great movies? Because that's what this will be, at best. At worst, it'll be a SNL sketch come to life and/or a two hour cgi vomit set to cacophony like Transformers. Put another shitty entry in one of the above dead-for-a-reason franchises if you must. Hell, rip Monster Squad off all the way. But don't call it Monster Squad. Let us have one thing in life not targeted to people who rest their AMP energy drinks on their copies of Maxim while admiring their Megan Fox fake nudes screensaver.
-
This movie is a rare gem that should remain untouched. After buying the dvd and watching it for the first time in almost 20 years, I realized that they couldn't make that film nowadays. A 5 year old saying don't be a chicken-shit, the parents having a shouting match in the middle of the film about their dysfunctional marriage, and the sheer amount of carnage wrought by the monsters would never fly in today's studio system. Dear Hollywood, Leave it the fuck alone and come up with a new idea or 2 for a change. Sincerely, Every movie fan out there
-
Remake it all they want. They can pry my DVD of the original version from my cold, dead hands.
-
I thought what really lacking from the 80's original was bad CGI rendered monsters...in 3D.
-
There was a third Mummy film? Hey, I feel better for not having known about / remembered that fact.
-
Personally, I always *liked* <i>Stealth</i>. Of course, to a non-aircraft aficionado I suppose this wouldn't make much sense. Like a non-Angelina Jolie fan wouldn't understand why you'd want to see a TV movie about a supermodel with a drug habit.
-
FFFFUUU-
-
Personally i would have had him kicked in the nards first then stick the dynamite down their shorts otherwise some poor fat kid might loose a foot if it detonates unexpectedly. I remember loving this movie mind you i was 12 at the time.
-
All of the monsters will be driving 10 second cars, and when they get out we'll see all of their testicles. Can't they just re-release the original? It still holds up.
-
Wolfman's got Nards!!!! Just sayin'...I also need the T-Shirt that says so.
-
Why does Bay want to destroy my childhood!!!! Why.....NOOOOO!!!! WHY!!!!
